We are looking for 1 Researcher in the field of “Multiscale simulations (e.g. first principles, molecular dynamics, coarse grain, etc) of structural, electronic and vibrational properties of highly disordered systems, such as polycrystalline and/or amorphous materials, based on chalcogenides and metal oxides for synaptic electronics, as part of the EU project INTERSECT”

One position for research physics/computational materials scientist is available in the group of Dr. Arrigo Calzolari at CNR Nano in Modena, Italy, in the framework of EU-funded project “Interoperable Material-to-Device Simulation box for disruptive electronics – INTERSECT” – GA nr. 814487.

Candidates must have:
- Master degree and PhD in physics/chemistry/ material science and/or engineering
- Knowledge of scientific codes and methodologies for the multiscale simulation of solid-state physics
- Experience in the study of disordered systems, polycrystalline and/or amorphous materials
- Knowledge programming languages for scientific software (e.g. Fortran, C, C++, python) and parallel computation (MPI)

The candidate will be involved in the activity “use - and possible development – of scientific codes, such as (but not limited to) classical or quantum molecular dynamics, coarse grain model, etc, for the study of highly disordered systems, with particular interest on the comprehension of the polycrystalline and amorphous phases of complex materials (e.g. chalcogenides and metal oxides) as function of the dimensionality and temperature”.
